Gahal

Gahal was a major right-wing political alliance in Israel that existed from 1965 to 1973, consisting of Herut and the Liberal Party of Israel. The Gahal platform incorporated Herut's approach to security and foreign affairs and the Liberal Party's approach to economics and finance, but many Liberals, seeing Herut as too right-wing, broke from their main party and formed the Independent Liberals. In 1965 and 1969, Gahal won 26 seats, and it was constantly kept out of power by Alignment. Before the 1973 elections, Gahal, the Free Center, the National List, and the Movement for Greater Israel merged to form Likud.
